yeah, i had thought about yellow tires, but had the red rubinos sitting around. i am actually thinking about moving the color scheme over to solid red. somewhere around here i have a pair of totally sweet red grips and am probably going to buy a red 5-gold if i can ever find one.

If that's true, that fork is crazy (good) looking.[/Edit] |

http://www.chemicalwarfare.net/~apra.../makino-02.jpg a few more at: http://www.chemicalwarfare.net/~apratt/makino Man, that fork crown makes it! The best frame I ever owned had straightblade forks with that same style crown, I've heard it referred to as a 'bikini lug'. Too bad somebody else felt they needed it more than me :mad: ! |
yeah man, i am way into the fork crown. i have a horrible disdain for unicrown bull****, but this thing is the cat's meow. you definitely need to lynch the bastard who jacked your bike.

Yeah shants, I'm definitely feeling the all red idea. The mismatched yellows and orange top-tube pad kinda take the sex out of it...

Its great you got to go over to the shop to talk over your frame with Rich. Its always best to have person to person contact. I look forward to seeing your frame when its done. |
